Cargo trailers: V nose versus flat front

[Blaker55]

Anybody have experience with pulling both types of trailers? &nbsp;Is the V front easier to pull, better mileage than the flat or slightly rounded front? &nbsp;Is it significant?<br /><br />How about the V nose with the top that slopes down a foot or so?<br /><br />I imagine the V offers some unique storage abilities that the others don't.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

It's a give and take. The V "feels" more stable, less likely to wag, but any proper setup will not wag hard under reasonable conditions anyway.<br /><br />The storage thing, well, it's a smaller place then a flat front. Kind of an odd space when you are used to working with boxes, but it's useful space since it's the area that would normally be just the A-frame tongue.<br /><br />It's not a clear cut thing. I didn't notice a huge difference when I towed one (it was a loaded down cargo trailer), and my experience with travel trailers leads me to think that in most cases it's a wash.

Thanks for the replies. &nbsp;I checked out other sites and decided to focus on an aluminum cargo trailer. &nbsp;I used the "All of Craigslist" search and found a 6 x 12 V-nose Featherlite about 250 miles from me.<br />I am now in process of insulating the walls and ceiling. &nbsp;I purchased a Fantastic Vent and will install that in the near future. &nbsp;Also looking into solar.<br />Will be taking this on a 3 - 4 week adventure this fall. We want to start with what we think are the minimum needs then add as we go. &nbsp;Trying to keep the weight down and dont want to get too decked out with un-used things and foo foo.
